Famous quotes containing the word language:

    “This is an approach to that universal language which men have sought in vain.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “This Light inspires, and plays upon
    The nose of Saint like Bag-pipe drone,
    And speaks through hollow empty Soul,
    As through a Trunk, or whisp’ring hole,
    Such language as no mortal Ear
    But spiritual Eve-droppers can hear.”
    —Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
